My 3D printing Odyssey, final RPG instalment page 11

[Schogun]

So what's the latest?

Or is there another site that has it?

Thanks

We're currently on a two week break as one of my players is doing other stuff. We'll be resuming this coming Saturday. Update on Sunday.

I print at 60 as a default.
Infill makes me feel better and filament is very cheap

This is sort of an odd question. What's the power usage of your printer?

[matakishi]

The average for 3D printers seems to be 50W- so 1/3 of my painting light usage. I haven't measured mine but there's not much to it, three small motors, a couple of fans and a heating element (some LEDs), so I doubt it's substantially more than the average.

Thanks for the info Paul. For some reason i thought it would be a lot higher.

That page is well worth the visit. You're damn close to tipping me into getting a 3D printer

Love the dungeon, pretty much everything about it.

Simply stunning

Lots of 3D printed goodies in this week's adventure.

The print quality of your new printer seems to be quite a lot better than your first one. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to resist the temptation to get one of my own

The difference is marked. Most things in this report that are printed are from my second printer, the Omega, which is the best upgrade option from the first at only £100 more. Later items from my 3rd printer are of marginally better quality (not really noticeable) but the printer itself is sturdier. Hopefully this will warrant the increased price (double the cost of the second printer).

I traded in my first printer the Wanhao to get an Omega, bought a second Omega because they were so good (which DHL destroyed) and replaced that one with my current Flashforge. My surviving Omega is currently out of action with an intermittent fault which is baffling me. I'm looking to get rid of it since the Flashforge is supplying my needs.

No, I haven't needed to so it's been a low priority.
I've painted over 400 things this year, all but six (until a recent spate of pirates I've been doing) have been 3D printed or scratch built items and I still have boxes of printed stuff waiting in the queue. I can't see myself devoting the time to learn how to design stuff properly until I have a real need for something that isn't available.

What model Flashforge printer do you have? They appear to have a USA site.

This is a very interesting thread!

I have a Flashforge Creator Pro
